Rachel never wanted to travel into the wilderness。 The westward trail has stolen everything from her。 Her home。 Her family。 Her husband。 Now a match made out of necessity has trapped her in a marriage with a man she can’t stand。Owen likes Rachel about as much as his horse likes a burr under its saddle。 She’s bossy and stubborn with an independent streak a mile wide。 And a baby on the way。He can’t help feeling responsible for the prickly mother-to-be。 A marriage of convenience is the right thing to do。 But that doesn’t mean he has to like it。 He just has to survive it until they reach Oregon。Tropes/*baby on board*rivals to love*opposites attract*protector hero*emotional scars
